Challenges of Adapting and switching into more commercial mediums (Comics)

Challenges of Adapting and switching from Illustrations to the comic book and manga storytelling genre.


Adapting to drawing in condensed little panels and rectangles is one of the most challenging and frustrating challenges of my career. I still haven't mastered the switch, if I ever will. But I've improved. I think it has to do with the “drawing a tiny composition” part. I'm not good at drawing artwork on a small and reduced scale. I'm not a bad artist overall by any means. In terms of my illustration skills, I've always had it going on. But I didn't anticipate how difficult the switch from conceptual design to illustration would be. To prove my point, here is a side by side comparison of 4 of my more so-called “amateurish” comic book pages, and how I REALLY draw when I'm in my element, and am in full on Artist Mode.
